The woman said the motorcycle driver harangued her with obscenities for running a red light and almost hitting him.

"I did not run no red light. The car before me did not run a red light. It was a yellow light. Then he told me I didn’t know who I was messing with, (that) he was a an ex-police officer," she told WPBF 25 News.

The motorcycle driver then took a picture of the woman and her car, and posted it on the Facebook page SLC Scanner which posts police scanner traffic in St. Lucie County.

The administrator's caption noted the woman "almost hit" "one of our fans" and urged people to "make her famous" by sharing and liking the post.

Dozens of people commented, some of them with threatening remarks that they would like to smash or kick the woman and her car, and teach her a lesson.

"They showed my face and my license plate. They violated my right to privacy. And I took it to police because of the threats," said the woman, who did not want her identity revealed.

The administrator of SLC Scanner also noted the man on the motorcycle was a former law enforcement officer, currently a police dispatcher and married to a detective, and therefore more likely to be credible than the woman.

Detective Jason Braun said there is no law against publishing pictures of people's license plates. He said while some of the postings made threats against the woman, they were not specific enough to rise to a level of a crime.

"We looked into that - no crime had been committed. Our concern was whether there was inappropriate use to access her information but it doesn’t look like that occurred," said Braun.

The administrator of the page told WPBF 25 News that the comments "were just words" and meant nothing.
